I've noticed this living in bigger cities as well, it was bad enough in one certain place I just left.

Kind of estranged my family to do it, but as soon as I was in my new city I had a great girlfriend, and my cost of living was much lower, I was much happier.

The old journey kind of took me on a personal discovery. You shouldn't worry about other people criticizing your choices because they aren't going to really affect them, and even if they are they're adults they can sort something else out.

In this new city I would notice even though technically the population was large, the communities were very tight-knit. If you're rude to the local bartender her dad might have a word with you. Contrast it to the internet, I spoke to a girl who had to stop using dating apps because guys would just lead with calling her nasty and fat. In real life if you do that there can be immediate consequences to that behavior.

Imagine if you will you were at a bar, and the Packers are playing the raiders or something, if you start yelling at random people that raiders fans are disgusting and horrible you can expect to be removed, and banned from returning to that bar. ( Or they might agree with you and buy you a beer who knows).

On twitter, Reddit Facebook whatever that doesn't really exist. You can say ridiculously nasty mean things to everyone and nothing's going to happen to you. I had to stop using social media because I would become distraught over some of the stuff I read, almost all the bigotry I experienced was entirely online.

Everyone has a right to spend their time in their energy the way they choose, but since I don't want to be called slurs I don't use social media. I've posted here a ton but back in 2019 I went completely offline and I had amazing partners, made tons of friends, traveled. I even increased my income by no small amount, I used that time I was spending making the Zuckerbergs of the world rich into improving myself.

but if I've learned one thing in my life, it's that self-improvement is very hard, I'm the only person who can put down the second donut. it's a lot easier to go on Reddit and then complain about how societies out to get you, are to go on Twitter and just spread your own, really just self-hatred to other people hoping to dissipate it. Yet you can't, spreading hate doesn't take it out of you, if anything you're just going to get more hate back and then it builds up like a fuel.

Most angry online folks, if you took away their social media and slowly reintroduced them to community, maybe a nice bowling league or something, within a year they'd be so much happier.
"silencing opponents"

Nobody here is silenced. You do not have a right to a twitter account. People can, and do, make accounts elsewhere.

Literally anything Trump does can and is covered by the media; this is exactly the opposite of being "silenced".
It's surprising that markets are still so obviously irrational.
Robinhood Goes Down During GameStop Stock Rush
Would you mind sharing more about your experience? I'm curious what you were trying to build that was too much for RN.
I fully agree that hedge funds shouldn't get a bailout, and I don't think they will. Banks and hedge funds might both be "Wall Street" but they have very different relationships with the government. Hedge funds are not systemically important.

On the other hand, I don't understand why you hope they go out of business. Have they done anything bad by shorting GameStop? If they believed the stock was overvalued, are they wrong to bet on that belief?
Citadel and Point72 stepped in and closed the hedge fund position ($3 billion) on GME [1]. The regulators are not moving/commenting just yet, I am curious to see the repercussions of this and if Reddit crashing the markets it the new norm.

EDIT: My bad, the hedge fund was not closed, just its GME short position. I amended this.
There's a little more nuance to this than the headline suggests. Child accounts cannot watch these movies. But if you're signed in as an adult you can still play them.
Same thing with white milk.
Stay away from companies who don't let you talk to the lowest-ranking members of the team.
It's like magic. You're about to ask somebody if they know the password, and then all of the sudden your phone fills it in for you and says that your friend shared it with you.

Every time I use it I love it.
You are correct. It was the beginning of the modern ‘clown world’ movement in memery.
That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me.

Memory bandwidth is but one aspect of GPU performance, and also memory bandwidth is substantially upgraded in this APU. It has support for LPDDR4X-4267 68.2 GB/s, up from DDR4 3200's 51.2 GB/s.

But the Vega 8 in this is definitely not the peak that you can squeeze out of DDR4. If that was the case then we wouldn't have had things like the Vega 11 in the 3400G. Also RDNA2's "Infinity Cache" helps reduce memory bandwidth requirements, which would also be a relevant upgrade.

This was just a time-to-market strategy to reduce risk. Not an optimal engineering decision. This let them avoid trying to make a power-optimized version of RDNA2 at the same time they were trying to release any version of RDNA2.
Elon popped in really late, when the stock was already $250.

Definitely fuels the dank memes though.
Something I don't understand is, why don't people simply ignore such harassment and forcibly proceed towards whatever they were doing anyway? Such as publishing those books for example.
> he never made even a token effort at gun control.

That's not actually true, there are incidents like the ammo import ban to automatically prohibiting elderly people receiving financial assistance.

The fact that the gun control you were expecting didn't happen doesn't mean that none did.
I wasn't following any of this until a few days ago. Are there any fundamentals here, did GameStop ever pivot from their CD exchanging/rental business somehow? I have a hard time imagining how they could without trying to compete with Steam and EA's platform.

The ideal situation for them here is that they hold enough of their own stock to sell some now and try to pivot with all the funding.

As far as people looking to speculate - you probably genuinely are too late, despite me being a supporter of riding bubbles like this, since obviously it works, sometimes.
But can I write off my shower as a home office tax deduction?
Casinos are highly regulated business with games having constant and verified return rate. E.g if you make 1,000,000 of $1 bets on slots in registered and regulated online casino then you'll actually retain 95-98% of the money. People who are addicted to gambling and risk aren't there to bet $1 so they lose everything much faster.

It's can be different for offline gambling where people go to play once in a month, but online companies related to gambling work hard to avoid burning people out too fast. After all they want sustainable income which come from audience that trust them.

Stock market on ther side doesn't have anything like this and it's can make people go broke much faster than casinos do.
Interesting his involvement in this. Although I'm not quite sure about his motivations.
I will ask something like these.

Do you provide free snacks for those who work late hours in this company ?
Is there referral bonus ?

Yes to anyone of those question is a red flag.
If they had infinite money they could do this. But shorting a stock is usually done on margin and if you lose enough money on a short position you’ll get a margin call asking you to deposit more money with your broker. If you don’t do that they’ll buy to cover your position for you.
The car salesman made a joke about letting your wife test drive the car instead of you? Yikes.
>> Social media damages everyone's mental health

It may seem that way but don't believe it's 100% accurate.

Mental pressure built up within yourself, whatever is their cause, get somewhat released after a good cry. Afterwards you feel a little bit refreshed. You feel a little bit less sad. The anger within you is not as prominent.

Lashing out on people, starting flame wars in your favorite online forum, screaming, yelling and DEMANDING to be heard, shouldn't that also release some of the tensions we all carry around with us from time to time? Wouldn't that leave us a little less motivated to go out IRL and actually hurt someone physically, a little less motivated to sit down and furiously start on the next evil manifesto?

My own brain, though, is not built for social media. I need to see the nervous twitch in your eye, your conniving smile or the loving wink of your eye in order to fully understand you and I think oftentimes when you misunderstand me it's because you didn't see my eye twitching or my mouth smiling. But I've heard other people being absolutely in love with it. It can't be all bad.
> I wish I groked all the dynamics at play.

In this case I would recommend to stay out of the game. Just enjoy the show.
No, that article says it closed out of its position in GME. It hasn't closed.
Isn’t that just WiFi with extra steps?

BLE gets most of its energy efficiency from aggressively turning the radios off when they’re not in use. Wifi can do the same thing, and protocols like Thread are pushing in that direction.

The big issue with a BLE to interwebs gateway is that you means you need to handle routing etc. Which starts to erode the benefits of using BLE in the first place.
Do they use the same amount of wood though? There's more to "consumption" than money!
I agree. Usually, I tend to think that things can only really be improved if there is a culture that allows it. I can't count the number of times that someone had legit improvements, but they just stall after some initial effort as real change isn't really embraced.
As an Indian dev these stories about how coding bootcamps are disrupting education make me smile. This business model has already been tested and scaled in India. It’s called Infosys, Wipro and TCS and the 150 billion dollar Indian IT services industry.

They operate like coding bootcamps. They hire tens of thousands of random grads, put them through a “bootcamp” of six months and contract them out to Fortune 500 firms. They also have these kinds of exit clauses where you have to pay them if you quit early. These people often have no CS backgrounds.

These bootcamps will also end up shifting to India and turning into outsourcing firms. Nothing more nothing less. It can absolutely work and be huge but as you scale the quality drops and it’s not a panacea.

If I were the lambda school CEO I’d just start a remote first outsourcing firm in India and cut to the chase.

If I were an IT service company CEO I’d rebrand myself as “disrupting education” to get some of that sweet VC $.
Watch out, they'll outlaw Robinhood
I recall reading a book review on Amazon recently in which the reviewer referenced CDC fatality information to show that middle-aged adults were more likely to die in stupid ways than teenagers despite the popular pseudo-science wisdom that 'the teenage brain' is more prone to risk-taking because it hasn't 'fully developed.'
I'm pretty sure Citadel isn't an owner, but rather, is able to get a cheap position in the hedge fund, thanks to the short term irrationality.
Isn't C a sweet spot of portability and minimalism ? no matter the defects .. the previous qualities seemed to matter more. I mean there were attempts at replacing C but nothing came close to remove it right ?
Console APUs don't need to be particularly power-optimized. If the RDNA 2 GPU in the PS5 can't idle below 10w, nobody will care. If the RDNA 2 GPU in your laptop can't idle below 10w, that's unshippable. A decent laptop doesn't draw 10w total at idle including screen & all that.
Is This at All Possible?
I've always been a bit extreme on this but I more than ever believe that it's insane that we consider that leaving teenagers with unsupervised internet access is reasonable.

Maybe I'm prude or naive but I remember vividly when I first saw a pornographic movie at like around 17. It really shook me at the time. I wasn't traumatized or anything but it made a strong impact on me.

These days I expect that most teens experience this at like 12yo on their smartphones. Last week I was linked a reddit video of some guy dying in absolutely gruesome circumstance due to an industrial accident. And then there's the constant influx of disinformation. Did you know that Hydroxychloroquine cures HIV? I saw a Youtube video claiming just that yesterday.

Leaving a kid on the internet is like living them on a shaddy part of town for hours at a time. I'm old enough that I only had internet at home when I turned 18, in hindsight I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Indeed, and in addition, the convergence of lines seems to suggest that they are taken from different hights (the first from above adult head height, and the second from below it.) In the first case, this seems to fill the frame with people.
> [Melvin Capital] was also closed by its owner, Citadel

No. It closed out its GME short. It then got a bailout from Point72 (f/k/a SAC) and Citadel. To my knowledge, the latter and Melvin are not affiliated.

"Shock that person, please."

"What? No."

This is disgusting. I do some placement and this kind of BS just smacks of the recruiter treating their revenue stream as cattle. I mean, the numbers make it easy but why be a supreme jerk about it? It's not like we lose much capital on a missed placement.
What Is said was indeed "What I'm missing is Electron-everything." TFA lists the new directions of distros, I'm missing "Electron-everything." in that list (Electron gives us new major apps we never had before and will continue to do so). I'm certainly not missing it in my life. Native O365 on Linux is unrealistic, they are even electronifying it on Windows.

A bit of a miscommunication there.

Why? If they assessed GameStop's value accurately, they should be rewarded.

I really don't understand this hatred of short sellers and cheering for people who are often clueless about valuation.
It works both ways. I remember looking after my baby daughter between jobs, taking her to classes etc. These were full of mothers with babies, who generally looked at me like, at best, a freak, at worst, someone who shouldn't be near children, and somehow coerced one to come along as cover-up.

People assume the woman is responsible for kids, which is a bit of a 1D projection of women, but also, in my personal experience, women, especially mothers, assume the men shouldn't be around, are no good with children etc.
Because people don't understand the importance and even necessity of shorts.

They seem to think that shorts = bad.
That's like arguing heading to Alaska to prospect for gold in 1899 was a great idea because the companies selling picks and shovels in Seattle were making bank.
Now this will probably repeat for other heavily shorted stocks. Look at EXPR and AMC. Crazy, but in a strange way makes sense.
The size is just the symptom.

Those services match you, with other who share similar views/preferences - putting you inside a bubble.

Before social media radical views\moronic opinions etc. wouldn't spread so far- because others would point out flaws in your reasoning or outright laugh at it.

Now? you have permanent access to enabling group - group who share views, and support each other - entrenching it.

Flatearthers would be ridiculed anywhere - but not they have a group that supports them.

Not to mention that there are literally no consequences of holding an objectively wrong opinion(back to flatearthers) in online discourse.

Don't get me wrong, those people with those view always existed - they just get exposed, via the worst invention of 2000s/2010s, to each other and that let them be more vocal about it.

Pretty sure leftist authoritarianism exists and is violent. i.e.: Communist Russia, Maoist China, Cuba.
After leaving facebook a few years ago, I noticed at first that it was difficult to find out about social events. And I felt more disconnected.

After a while, though, it just sort of filtered the events down to those I cared more about. My good friends still reach out directly and vice versa. I think it took a while for that to start happening though.

I've lost touch with many acquaintances, but if I'm being honest it's probably better that I don't expend energy on those people. I'm certainly not isolated from society, though. I just engage on my own terms.

Tires and brakes are both emitters, admittedly with motor braking you probably emit less total brake dust in an EV in a comparatively heavy ICE car.

Also still included in an EV is the carbon cost of mining, refining and manufacturing:

- Metal parts

- Plastic parts

- Organic fabric parts (raising cattle, big cost. Pleather? Still costly, and now it's plastic too, can't win)

- Battery minerals and production

- Electronics manufacturing

- Glass manufacturing

I am still all for EVs mind you, hell yes. But they are a massively consumptive item.
What's the Occam's Razor of "everyone smart enough to be in advanced learning seems to have the same political bias", do you think?
I was about to say the same thing. At least social media gives me quite a bit of mental heart burn.

Interestingly enough, HN and reddit have both been really useful for me. Both are much more focused AND the people there don't gain anything by attacking me personally, only by attacking my ideas. This has been really good because it's allowed me to get used to communicating ideas in a way that people will understand them and getting used to people being upset at me.

Social media where people know who I am in real life though, has been terrible. Like, the worst was a few different relatives who were getting "offending" at me because it gave them social capital with other relatives. I had nothing to do with anything, they just wanted to look good in front of someone else by trying to make me look bad. And I suppose that's a good lesson to learn, but it's not something I want to have to deal with from arbitrary many people.
Uninstalled all social media apps a couple months ago. Noticed an immediate improvement in my mental health. Haven't regretted it, don't miss it. I still log in occasionally via the web, just to see if there's anything I should know about with my friends.

Still can't kick HN ;)

The correct and not-sensationalized title would add "... from kid's accounts". The movies are still accessible on the platform, but children need a grownup to be there and explain the warnings.
Yes. I think this is especially important if you are a more senior person or work more independently than a lot of product companies.
I've used pretty much all GUI frameworks - raw Win32, MFC, WinForms, wxWindows, Qt, WPF, native Android and iPhone.

HTML/CSS is vastly more powerful and productive, especially when using something like React/Vue.

It's not because "web devs who don't know anything else".

HTML/CSS is just a superior technology. No wonder that even traditional GUIs are moving this direction - Qt with QML, windows with their new Win10 flat design API (forgot its name)

> Basic layout of things in a way that copes with different screen sizes/orientations is a surprisingly black art sometimes.

It's still easier to solve these problems than in a traditional GUI, which if you noticed tend to have a mostly fixed layout, exactly because dynamic layout is so difficult to get right in them.
I don't think it does make the point, as they are depicting different crowds (or different parts of the same crowd) that differ objectively in their density. The claim, on the other hand (and which, in general, I agree with), is that you can manipulate the apparent density of the same crowd.
This is a short squeeze. My understanding is that hedge funds shorted the company massively, covering something like 130% the price of the company. These companies are contractually obligated to buy the stock at whatever price it's at in the future, giving people a good reason to pile into the stock for guaranteed gains. This is causing a frenzy.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I only learned about it yesterday.
> Social media takes every challenge that kids face and amplifies it.

I don't see why any kind of urbanization or improved communication/infrastructural technology wouldn't have this effect. The more people you can reach, the more people you have to compete with.
>I'm no stranger to Web tech, including JS on the browser and on the server side. It's hell compared to native App development using the native technologies.

As a front-end developer, it's clear to me that you only think that because you are familiar with it, same for me with js - all you need to start developing is npx create-react-app appname or npx create-next-app appname. I toyed around with react native too, and expo is godsend. On the other hand when I tried to use swift/xcode I quickly discovered that official docs are just trash for people unfamiliar with it and community is so much smaller (I was only looking at swiftui FWIW). You have to configure things like dependencies with xcode ui while in js it's all code. Needless to say I didn't go through with it and will go react native next time without a second thought.
I'm trying to teach my 10 year old son.

He's not on social media, but does play games online with others.

I'm working really hard to enforce a sort of "If it isn't positive, you don't feel good about it... time to not do it for a while / find another game / people to play with."

I'm trying to teach him to evaluate and shape his own experiences online and make choices based on that.

I think it's often from the sense that short sellers are "rooting for the company to fail" and while there are certainly positive market functions that short sellers provide I'm not sure that sentiment is too far off.
